RMAN Restore from Old Tape Backup

I have a production database(9.2.0.3). that is backed up using RMAN nocatalog. The user want me to take a backup off of tape from June 21st and recreate in development (different directory structure). I can't seem to be able to find exactly how to do that. Can anyone give me a link?

Not sure if you can achieve that. The problem is that into the control file, the backupset is described, with its tag, its contents and.... its backup pieces with their path. Now when u try to restore, it finds out the backupset to restore from and its backup pieces
Can you reproduce the same directory structure on the dev machine using say links?

I am afraid in this way you are telling where the channel to write, not where to read from.
It finds that in the control file and I am afraid there is no way to change it
Maybe you can try the following
At the source, make a directory on the disk and backup the backuset to that directory ( I think that should work in 9i as well)
At the destination, make the same directory, copy the backup pieces there and restore from them ( of course you will need the control file from after the backup backupset)
